-In order to set up Weight and Balance for an aircraft you need to contact [[support@leonsoftware.com]]+[{{ :leon:fleet-weight-and-balance:w-b.png?150|Weight and Balance simulation page}}]

 +<box> **Weight & Balance functionality is optional and involves a one-off additional charge per tail, which depends on the aircraft type. In order to set up Weight and Balance for an aircraft you need to contact [[support@leonsoftware.com]] and send Aircraft Flight Manual or Weight and Balance Report.**</box>

 +Once we have set up W&B for an aircraft, you will be able to see it in this section as well as in Weight and Balance tab in [[leon:flight-checklist|Legs info]]. 
 + 
 +W&B simulation data consists of editable and non-editable values. Editable values can be amended by an Operator. Non-editable can only be amended by Leon upon request from an operator.

 +[{{ :leon:fleet-weight-and-balance:envelope.png?150|W&B envelope}}] 
 +When you assign such aircraft to a flight, you will be able to modify weight values as well as generate "Weight and Balance PDF". This will show W&B calculations, but also it will display **envelope** which indicates the values at every stage of the flight: 
 + 
 +  * **T/O** - Take off weight - is the maximum weight at which the pilot is allowed to attempt to take off, due to structural or other limits, 
 +  * **LW** - Landing Weight - aircraft gross weight due to design or operational limitations at which an aircraft is permitted to land, 
 +  * **ZFW** - Zero Fuel Weight - total weight of the airplane and all its contents, minus the total weight of the usable fuel on board (unusable fuel is included in ZFW). 
 +   
 +To ensure the aircraft is safe to fly, W&B must fall within specified limits established by the aircraft manufacturer.
